Hearing the voice, Lin Wanru immediately panicked.
"Oh no, it's Su Changhao!"
Zhou Yi didn't understand: "Who is Su Changhao?"
Lin Wanru, while frantically gathering her things, explained: "He's Su Changhao, the second young master of the Su family."
The second young master of the Su family?
Zhou Yi had heard of the Su family before; compared to the Lin family, it was even larger.
His strength and background were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
However, there was one thing Zhou Yi still didn't know.
"What does the second young master of the Su family want with you?"
Lin Wanru glared at him: "He's my fiancé, what do you think he wants with me?"
"My fiancé?!"
Upon realizing the situation, Chu Yi's expression immediately changed.
So, his clandestine interaction with Lin Wanru was equivalent to...
Damn!
No, this couldn't be discovered by the other party!
If it were discovered, he wouldn't be able to survive in Dongling City.
After all, this was the Su family.
Chu Yi, having lived for decades, understood this very well.
Offending the Su family meant either fleeing for his life or vanishing from the face of the earth.
If Su Changhao found out about this,
wouldn't he be finished?
Thinking this, Chu Yi quickly gathered his things.
Outside the door, Su Changhao waited for several minutes, growing increasingly impatient.
"What's going on? Why haven't you come to open the door yet?"
Just as he was about to knock again, the balcony door suddenly opened.
Lin Wanru stood at the entrance, glaring angrily at him.
Before Su Changhao could speak,
Lin Wanru preemptively spoke first.
"Su Changhao, it's working hours right now. You should consider the time when you want to see me!"
"What if you make me delay my work?" Seeing Lin Wanru's anger, Su Changhao immediately smiled and tried to appease her: "Wanru, don't be angry, I specially brought you a gift."
Saying that, Su Changhao took out a platinum gold chain.
In the middle of the chain was a large, thumb-sized, flawless diamond.
It was incredibly valuable.
Su Changhao held the chain with both hands, showing it to Lin Wanru: "Wanru, how about it? Do you like this chain?"
"This is top-grade material, plus it's handcrafted by a master craftsman. Just this one alone is worth over 5 million!"
"If you like it, then I'll give it to you!"
Lin Wanru said coldly: "Okay, just leave it there for now."
"If there's nothing else, then please go back!" "I want to continue working."
Seeing Lin Wanru about to close the door, Su Changhao hurriedly stopped her, smiling brightly.
"Wanru, Wanru! Don't close the door so quickly!"
"I've given you such a precious gift, won't you let me come in and sit for a while?"
"Sit for a while?" Lin Wanru's attitude became even colder.
"What, do you intend to do something?"
"It seems you weren't sincere in giving me the gift, but have ulterior motives!"
"If that's the case, then take the gift back. I don't like impatient men."
"No! That's not what I meant!" Su Changhao quickly explained.
Zhou Yi, listening to their conversation, was speechless.
Unexpectedly, this Su Changhao turned out to be a sycophant, completely under Lin Wanru's control.
But little did he know, his house had already been burglarized by her.
At this moment, Su Changhao seemed to notice something.
"Wanru, wait... Huh?"
"Why is your hair a little messy, and your dress all wrinkled?"
"Even the buttons on your shirt are fastened in the wrong place."
"You wouldn't normally be so careless, would you? What were you busy with just now?"
Lin Wanru was startled and quickly explained.
"I just didn't sleep well last night, and I'm just trying to make up for lost sleep!"
"What? What do you think I was doing?"
"No, no, I was just trying to show you some concern!" Su Changhao quickly said with a conciliatory smile.
"I heard that kid Ye Nancheng has been bothering you lately?"
"He hasn't been like that to you, has he?"
"If he misbehaves, just tell me, and I'll find someone to kill him!"
Hearing that name, Zhou Yi's eyelids twitched wildly.
My God, why did this drag the Dragon King Ye Nancheng into this?
This guy, could he be trying to be humiliated by the Dragon King's pretentious act of slapping the villain in the face?
Thinking about it carefully, this "hero saving the damsel" scenario really seems like the original script Ye Nan Cheng had, only he interrupted it halfway through.
If it had developed according to the beginning:
The Dragon King hero saves the damsel, the damsel falls in love with someone else.
The fiancé, overcome with shame and anger, causes trouble repeatedly, and is beheaded by the Dragon King.
This is truly too classic.
In that case, this guy is a perfect stepping stone!
Thinking of this,
His gaze towards Su Chang Hao couldn't help but show a hint of pity.
"Ye Nan Cheng?" Lin Wan Ru was a little surprised, "He actually came to find me."
"But I didn't react to him at all."
"That's good, that's good!" Su Chang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he still secretly swore in his heart.
He wanted to find someone to teach Ye Nan Cheng a lesson, to prevent him from bothering his fiancée again.
At this moment, he noticed Chu Yi in the office, and couldn't help but frown, his tone questioning.
"Wan Ru, who is this old man?"
Chu Yi was immediately a little flustered, wondering how to explain.
On the other side, Lin Wan Ru, without blushing or her heart racing, said: "He's the old butler sent by the Lin family to take care of me. You can call him Uncle Yi."
"Ah, so he's the old butler!"
After learning Chu Yi's identity, Su Chang Hao quickly put on a smiling face.
Originally, he was a little suspicious of why his beautiful fiancée had a man accompanying her.
But then he thought, this old man looked over 80.
Half his body was practically buried in the ground.
Why should I worry about that?
Thinking of this, he finally felt at ease.
However, why was this old man looking at him so strangely?
It was as if...
He was pitying him?
But Su Changhao didn't take this to heart.
Just a grumpy old man, what's so special about him?
But if it was Lin Wanru's housekeeper...
"Good morning, Uncle Yi."
He politely shook hands with Zhou Yi.
As he held him, Zhou Yi suddenly felt something in his hand.
Looking at it, it was a finely carved jade ring.
The jade ring was completely free of any impurities, sparkling brightly, clearly of considerable value.
Tô Thường Hào approached him, smiling, and said, "Uncle Yi, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse."
"I only wish to ask you to help me with Wanru..."
Chu Yi understood implicitly, "This old man will naturally expend a lot of effort."
Not only will it be mentally exhausting, but it will also require considerable energy!
Just these two days alone have cost me three times my time. Don't even mention how tired I am!
My back must be aching!
Chu Yi grumbled inwardly, but outwardly remained expressionless.
Seeing Chu Yi accept the jade ring without any hesitation, Tô Thường Hào was overjoyed.
"Haha, then I'll have to ask Uncle Yi to take good care of you!"
"Of course!" Chu Yi said with a smile.
"What were you two hiding from me?" Lin Wanru's displeased tone came through.
"Nothing, nothing, I was just greeting Uncle Yi!" Su Changhao quickly gave a quick glance.
It's unclear if he was trying to change the subject.
Su Changhao brought up another topic: "By the way, Wanru."
"I heard you were chased by a group of thugs yesterday? You barely escaped?"
"How about I find you a few recently discharged soldiers to be your bodyguards? That way you'll be safer in the future."
Find some bodyguards?
Lin Wanru couldn't help but look at Zhou Yi.
That's good, maybe it can dampen this old man's arrogance.
Then I can take the initiative, and this old man won't be able to lay a hand on me.
Hmph.
Then, let's see how I'll handle him!
